While I know it's a genuine struggle for people to lose any amount of weight, it's hard for me to relate to someone that only has to lose 10 or 15 pounds. Unless that's all they have left to lose after a big loss, they are not going to be able to relate to someone that needs to lose a third of their body weight.
I need/want to lose 85 pounds. It's a daily battle and it's a battle that will need to be fought for a long time before I can even think about the struggle to maintain. :ohwell:
I'd love to find others in a similar situation. We can cheer each other on.
Lean on each others shoulders.
Grumble about our frustrations.
And simply enjoy each other without being judged. :laugh:
Send me a friend request if you'd like to be a support to each other. I welcome anyone that is serious about this journey!

I know what you mean! I've been working out religiously since Dec and only lost 10 lbs. Friends tell me, my nutritionist has me on this regiment to be in training. The nutritionist has been thin her whole life, she doesn't get it. All I'm doing is building muscle under my fat. I feel better, but still 60+ overweight. Can't seem to drop the lbs, working with a terminally thin girl doesn't help. She never had to live like this! Now she has me on no sugar or salt. Ugh!!0

I can relate to that. I am at 181 and want to get down to 130-1350

I've got 65 more to loose. I look at that and think there is no way, but I know I can. I've already lost over 160 lbs. This is a great site for support and motivation. You can add me as a friend if you would like to. We'll fight the good fight together0

My goal is a loss of 88lbs - i'm 37 down since February. I just take a day at a time and set myself small goals. My next is 40lbs loss (just because it's not 30something any more) I will then hope for 42 (3 stones). It keeps me going! Current weight is 205lbs.
Feel free to add me.

I'm sending you a friend request. I agree that losing more than 50 pounds can be frustrating because it can take just so darn long. It is nice to have a constant support and people to just tell you to keep going.0

I started off with a goal of roughly 80 lbs (no firm number set in my head, just a basic range). I'm 46 lbs down since New Years & have another 30-35ish to go. It's been a fun journey so far & I'm looking forward to the rest!0

Feel free to add me! My goal is to lose 70 and I have 48 left to go.0

I know the feeling I've lost nearly 20lbs and still have another 60 to go, it can get very intimidating and disheartening when you look at the bigger picture.
I've been trying to focus on just the next five pounds and then the next and trying my best not to look at the big number on the scales but the small one it's come down by, which seems to work for me.
I'm a lifelong yo-yoer as well but I have to say the message boards and friends on MFP are excellent and they have me motivated like I've never been before.
I hope we can all do the same for you, feel free to lean on me anytime.

I only have 25 left, lost 90 so far (only 35 since I joined MFP) but I can relate. When I was just starting out I joined Weight Watchers and they put me in a group with two other women (there were groups of 3 only) and they both only had five pounds to lose! FIVE! I had over a hundred and they put me with them??? I walked out and never returned. I swear, if they didn't do that I may have stuck with it years before I finally got this under control. How was I supposed to relate to two skinny minnie ladies with five pounds to lose when I was morbidly obese?0

Hey
Ive always had issues with my body, in High school I weighed 125 and felt 445. after high school I went up to 187 but felt 555, then I got down to 157 and felt like.... 180.. which was good but not how I should have felt. Got married in the 160s got pregnant ballooned up to 230 lost 30lbs when i had the baby gained 7 from inability to work out, lost 7 in january, got down to 185 gained 14 pounds when hubby got home from basic, now im down to 197 and I plan to stick with it this time. I got into a funk of depression but I need to get healthy for my daughter and myself. I wanna see her grow up and she deserves to have a mother that loves her enough to keep herself healthy.
